[Q] Changing MAC on SK17i - GB ROM - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

Hey guys,
I've got questions about changing MAC on GB. Is there any way to do this?
On ICS I did that by busybox ifconfig or ip link set.
But I want to change to GB - Spartan v.2.2.0 ROM because of battery tweaks and performance, and here any of this methods aren't working.
When I turn off wifi it's suddenly gone by device. I tried to check by ifconfig -a or ip link show. But it's just doesn't be here...
I need to change, because I've got MAC block on my AP (it's from provider, so I don't want to change anything - in summer I'm going to buy router and configure it by myself).
Any advices guys?
Regards.

Clone MAC address

Hi,
I have strange internet provide that lets only one MAC address on network. Long story short, I have to change a Wifi MAC address on my 8525. Any ideas?
I would prefer something simple, maybe a simple aplication to do so.
I have read post like

but, it is complicated, since I need to be able to change it back to original on daily bases with no access to external computer.
Thanks

Sadly that's the only way it can be done; the WLAN MAC address is stored at a fixed offset within the ROM - the post you mention above is a guide to patching the ROM to update it with the required MAC address.

1 thought as my cable provider is like that to a certain regard,
Get a wireless router. then register the mac of the router with the provider, everything else is transparent to the provider as it would appear to come from the router ans is all ip based, aqs no Mac based services ( ie: netbios ipx/spx ) are used on the internet only on local network
hope this helps

[Q] Working Ad-Hoc for Gingerbread 2.3.4 - is it possible that nobody can solve it?!

Dear friends,
I have searched tens of forums and googled requested for a days,
but I didn't have chance that find any answer
And it seems that nobody speak so much about that problem here,
people are in race for newer and newer firmwares,
is it possible that nobody can't find the way to solve that problem and succeed to modify wpa_supplicant to work on new Gingerbread 2.3.4?
I can't belive that I have 500€ phone witout possibility to use ad-hoc WiFi at my home
Download this file - http://www.mediafire.com/?ap3alfyf2asu1ca
Disable the wifi...Copy-paste the file in system/bin using root explorer... reboot the phone...done, your phone running KG1 can connect to ad-hoc networks
oops.. i just tried on KG1. Didn't connect to an adhoc network setup with WEP.
I even set the properties of the file like:-
owner: Root Group: shell along with proper file permissions.
Still no working.
Huh, god knows, maybe it depends of type of installed ROM.
Galaxy S2, Lightning ROM 2.2, rooted, exchanged downloaded wpa-supplicant with original without changing any owner properties using Root Explorer and Mount R/W and R/O option,
and - it works, after reboot, sure.
I heard that gingerbread 2.3.x does not support ad-hoc wifi but froyo 2.2.x supports it!!!!
There is a file in the sticky thread. wtf it works fine. Im using it on M250S - 2.3.4
delete the file first ,than paste the new file back ,reboot
guys, is there any conclusion from this thread? i'm getting desperate too

This is the conslusion-
Use this file- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15773095&postcount=44
Working on stock KG3, Litening(all versions),Villain(all versions), others i didn't test...
I tested using Bzeek wifi hotspot creator on windows Vista, if you can't connect to WEP, try Bzeek, its open network but password is needed to use it
I have the LG Optimus 3D and I wanted to use my old WinMo phone as an ad-hoc server. I searched a lot and finally found the solution:
First of all you need a rooted device.
Go to Market and install "ZT-180 Adhoc Switcher". Run this program everytime you want to connect to ad-hoc.
The device acting as server needs to have its SSID to "AndroidTether" and require no password.
Don't forget to revert back to "infrastructure" mode after ending your session otherwise you won't be able to connect to normal hotspots.
There is no guarantee that this will work on all devices. Just try and see...

Wifi ever changing Mac address (last 6 digits)

Hi,
Please help me to solve the issue on the android ICS Wifi Mac address , here are the problems
1) NVRAM warning Err 0x10
2) Wifi always disconnect after able to obtain IP and browse internet a few seconds
3) Noticed that the MAC address last 6 digits are always changing, like 00:08:22:XX:XX:XX after I enable/disable the wifi
4) IPLINK SHOW ETH0 -- error: Can't find device 'eth0' , but WLAN0 is present
5) NetCfg command shows only Lo, wlan0, tunl0,sit0,ip6tnl0,ccmni0,ccmni1,ccmni2. but the Eth0 is not present?
Those problems originally found at the original rom. I have downloaded another similar rom but still not okay.
I downloaded the MIUI rom but only updates the system.img, recovery.img, boot.img. other image files were the same. The WIFI errors are still there.
Any advice?
Many thanks!

[TRICK] Blocked on WiFi Network (root only) (Finished)

Hey guy/gals, I've got a nifty little trick here for you. Now, the trick I'm about to explain is a rather low-level trick that most of you may know, but its for those who don't or are new. So, at the school i attend, they have wifi throughout the school. They make the password something simple like "internet", and then wait for someone to figure it out and tell everyone. Once everyone start joining the network and using it, they just go through and blacklist (ban) the MAC addresses that aren't pre-approved. This was a huge mistake on their part. So here is a method that allows you to spoof your MAC (ghosting) address and regain access to the network.
Method 1: Go to the market and download 2 apps, "BusyBox" and "MAC Spoofer (changer)". Install BusyBox and run it to give it SU permissions. Then run MAC Spoofer and give it permissions. Turn on your wifi and try to connect to the desired network. If you are blacklisted, it will just loop over and over trying to connect. Don't stop it from looping. Press the home button and then open MAC Spoofer. Now, when you run MAC Spoofer there will be a black box in the center of the screen and it should say ">CHECKING FOR ROOT PERMISSION AND WIFI FILE: OK!" then on the next line it will show your original MAC address and your current one. In the entry box between the black box and the spoof button, you can enter your desired address and press "Spoof my MAC". It will then say ">ATTEMPTING TO MODIFY MAC ADDRESS:" and on the next 2 lines it will show your original and current MAC. On the last line it should say "**SUCCESS** MAC OF INTERFACE wlan0 CHANGED TO: (Whatever you chose)". Now you can exit the app and go back to your wifi network selection. Select the network you were trying to join and it should connect.
I hope this works for you all. If you have any questions or issues, just reply to this thread. Don't forget to give me a thanks!
Note: Your MAC will reset to the original MAC when you turn off your wifi or if your reboot your phone.
Note: I am running ME7 with 4.2.2 JellyBean and stock rom.

[Q] Harshjelly 3.2 - tethering not working

hi to all, i'm a newbie on this forum, and i know this may not be the right place for this 3d, but i don't have enogh messages to write on developer topic.
I've a strange behaviour on my galaxy S advance.
I've installed Harhjely 3.2 with cocore 8.2 and CWM, with HJ 3.0 all works fine, i've upgraded to 3.2 but tethering is not more working.
Doesn't work neither wi-fi and bluetooth tethering.
I found the problem but i don't know how to fix it.
essentially the problem is on the dhcp server,
I'm able to see wi-fi connection from different devices to my phone, i can see on the tethering table the mac address of my pc and the ip address reserved to it, but the pc doesn't acquire the address and after a lttle it assigns itself an ip from PIPA netwoek (169.254.0.0/16 ) and so is not able to use the phone to go to internet.
I tried different devices (many laptop with different OS, tablet and others phones), but no luck, dhcp server is not working properly.
Any idea how to fix it ?
still not working
i tried to update to 4.0 version of harshjelly, but no luck, tethering is still not working.
i put here a log taken with logextreme during tethering process (device is able to connect, phone seems able to give it an ip address, but no one ip address is released), so please if any of you is able to give me an hand i'll be extremely gratefull.
Tethering is crucial for me, if i'm not able to make it working, i need to revert to stock image that i hate, but tethering works...
Please help me:
many thanks
